When saving a Bookmark, and security is not an issue, it's useful to have User Name and PW in the properties tab.
If the PW has CAPS within it and is saved, when reviewed, the CAPS have been all changed to lower-case.
Makes it difficult to remember which character(s) were Capitalized when entering a PW.
This is a problem with sites that require mixed characters.

I had posted another question here about 69.0 being the genesis of bad line breaking, and now a new thing I discovered.

In Firefox - and only firefox - if I'm composing a new message, pressing enter generates a single line break as I'd like and expect - new paragraphs require two "enter" presses.

EXCEPT, since 69.0, if I include a bulleted or numbered list in the message, when I end the bullets or numbering, the text below it inserts a forced double space with every "enter" press. That is, single-spacing before the bullet/number list; double-spacing after it.

Before the bulleted list line 3<br><div><ul><li>Bullet list line 1<br></li><li>Bullet list line 2</li><li>Bullet list line 3</li></ul><p>After the bulleted list line 1</p><p>After the bulleted list line 2</p><p>
After the bulleted list line 3

</p><br></div></div>
=======

If you notice, the "enter" generated a <br> before the list, then a <p> after it. Highlighting the lines after the bullets and removing the formatting (the slashed-out T in gmail compose) changes their selection source to:

=======
After the bulleted list line 1<br><br>After the bulleted list line 2<br><br>After the bulleted list line 3
=======

As you see, the <p> is replaced with a <br> and the unwanted blank lines can be edited out.

I went to Extensions and Themes and tried to restore the previous color - tabs were gray, well aligned and visible squares. Now they are transparent and bland in the background color which is not what it was before. I have disability and working from home makes my work more difficult if i don't align distinctly the tabs in the color gray as before. It takes me more time to recognize them and click. Help please.
I attach what i want to be, the gray and what is now one blue line.
Looking forward
Thank you

In the past few days, Firefox (version 69 on Windows 10) stopped displaying "Post" images on Wordpress websites, and also stopped displaying the page-background on all websites (not just Wordpress sites). I have done everything that the "display"-related help pages say to do, including disabling all add-ons and "refreshing" Firefox. Nothing helps. Attached are two screenshots of the same website, one from Firefox and one from Google Chrome. The site is supposed to look the way it does in Chrome. Since Chrome is displaying things properly, we are switching to Chrome as our default browser... but I'm very curious what has happened to/in Firefox.

How does the login for the YouTube website prefill with my account information when I have logged out, deleted all the information the browser has connected with YouTube, and activated a proxy to hide my ip address?

The prefill is more than just a prefilled form. I have attached an image of what comes up. It looks to me as if those sites are identifying my accounts at the server end. I have deleted everything in the storage section of the browser inspector application (another picture attached). I also activated a proxy to hide my ip address.

What can I do to Firefox so that when I go to Gmail or Youtube they don't already know it is me?

Hello,
I always have Sync turned on, on my Laptop (PC) and my iPhone. When I reinstalled Firefox, everything was synced except my bookmarks. I have all my bookmarks on my iPhone. How do I get my bookmarks back on my Laptop? Can I somehow export my bookmarks on my iPhone, which has Firefox mobile, and email them to myself on my Laptop? I would really appreciate it very much if anyone could assist me this this issue.
Thank you.

Cannot sign into Support with an old Username and password... have tried to renew password, but Support did not send anything to my email address - which would seem to indicate that they no longer have any records of my previous Log-in details; admittedly my last Log-in was maybe 10 years ago...

Hi, I just updated my Windows 10, and now I can no longer pick up and drag tabs in Firefox. I refreshed Firefox to factory defaults, and this still did not solve it. If you go to "grab" a tab, it stays put, unlike previously you could "grab" tabs and drag them to switch positioning.

Are there any other options I may be missing that enable this function again?

When I develop web apps, I want to see adding and removing CSS classes in real time, like Chrome devtools do.

I use tailwind CSS heavily (https://tailwindcss.com/) which relies on adding CSS classes to change appearance. The same applies to bootstrap 4 styles.

Chrome devtools autoloads the CSS classes from tailwind, and shows updates to the page as I type. To try this out:

1. go to https://tailwindcss.com/ in chrome/chromium
2. open devtools (f12)
3. switch to the "Elements" tab
4. use the element picker to select the "Get Started" button
5. in the right hand panel, select the ".cls" icon
6. in the box that says "Add new class", type "text-"
7. notice the dropdown and if you change the value (e.g. to text-blue-500) the page updates

In firefox devtools with the equivalent ".cls" feature:

the classes do not auto-populate

changes are not shown until the enter key is pressed.

For me personally this is the only feature I use chrome for. Firefox completely satisfies me for all other usage.

Is this something that can be implemented? I have reasonable software development skills so would be willing to assist with this change.

I've asked on Reddit but I haven't found a fix for this yet so I'm asking here. In the settings for Firefox it says that my browser is being managed by your organization. But it has no mention of any settings being restricted, and when I clicked the notification to check the policy the page was entirely empty. I also checked the Firefox program folder and there wasn't any sign of an Autoconfic file that I could notice. One user mentioned on Reddit that this issue is often caused by antivirus companies forcefully inserting their own SSL certs to intercept your encrypted traffic, he then suggested turning off "web scanning" but my antivirus (which I only use Malwarebytes and Windows Defender) already had them disabled. After doing some research on my own I found out that the antivirus Avast used to cause this issue, and I had uninstalled Avast a while back, so I figured that the reason that the policy wasn't there was because Avast was uninstalled, but, I never saw this notification before today. So if anybody can help me pinpoint what this is and how remove it would be much appreciated. But all I really want to know if is this is something that I should be worried about or is it simply a bug. Also one other question is why the top sites and search bar is really close to the address bar after the latest update. Is this just a design change? Or is this something I need to be concerned about? Because I didn't notice this on Firefox on my laptop. Thanks in advance.
